AIR BAGS, SEAT BELTS
I RECEIVED AN EMAIL MONTHS AGO THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON MY AIRBAGS AND AN ISSUE WITH THE SEATBELTS THAT COULD CAUSE INJURY DURING A CRASH. A JUST RECENTLY RECEIVED AN EMAIL FROM CARMAX WARNING ME OF THE SAME. I NEVER RECEIVED A REMEDY-IS-AVAILABLE EMAIL SO I LOOKED IT UP ON THIS SITE AND WAS INFORMED THERE IS NO REMEDY AVAILABLE BECAUSE THE RECALL IS INCOMPLETE. IT HAS BEEN CLOSE TO A YEAR, AND I WOULD LIKE THIS REMEDIED SO I AND MY PASSENGERS ARE AS SAFE AS POSSIBLE IN MY CAR. THANK YOU!

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I REPLACED MY CAR WITH NEW BRAKES LAST YEAR AND I AM ALREADY HAVING TO REPLACE THEM AGAIN. ALSO, IT KEEPS DYING OUT. I SEEN ON HERE THERE WAS A RECALL WITH THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. I THINK THE ISSUE IS STILL AT HAND. I'VE SPENT MONEY ON TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT IS WRONG WITH MY CAR AND THE MECHANICS HERE IN MY AREA CANNOT FIGURE IT OUT. THIS CAR HAS SO MANY ISSUES ESPECIALLY DUE TO ELECTRICAL ISSUES. ALSO, MY CAR WILL JERK SOMETIMES WHEN I AM AT A STOP LIGHT. I CAN'T FIGURE OUT WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT. I AM THINKING OF GETTING ANOTHER CAR BECAUSE THERE IS SO MANY ISSUES WITH THIS ONE.

ENGINE, STEERING, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
6.1.17 AT ROUGHLY 7:50AM, MY 2014 DODGE AVENGER LX WITH RALLYE PACKAGE COMPLETELY SHUTOFF WHILE DOING HIGHWAY SPEEDS - 70MPH CRUISE, FLAT LAND. POWER STEERING WAS GONE AND THANKFULLY NO OTHER CARS WERE ON THE ROAD. I PLACED THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND WAS ABLE TO GET IT STARTED TO CONTINUE ON MY WAY TO WORK. OVER THE PAST YEAR, WE'VE EXPERIENCED NUMEROUS ISSUES SUCH AS: RANDOM ACCELERATIONS WITHOUT CAUSE, DUMMY LIGHTS FLASHING OR COMING ON AND THEN DISAPPEARING ON THEIR OWN, ACCELERATION ISSUES WHERE CAR WILL NOT GO OVER 40, ETC. ISSUES HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO BE REPLICATED AND HAS NOT BEEN BROUGHT TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR THAT PURPOSE AS I HAD A FRIEND EXPERIENCE THE SAME AND THE DEALERSHIP TOLD HER THEY COULDN'T RECREATE SO THERE WAS NO ISSUE. I HAVE CONTACTED MY DEALERSHIP AND HAVE AN APPOINTMENT FOR 6.5.17, AND I HAVE ALSO CONTACTED CHRYSLER REGARDING THE ISSUE SO THEY CAN GET A CASE MANAGER ASSIGNED. I NO LONGER FEEL SAFE DRIVING MYSELF OR MY CHILDREN IN THIS VEHICLE, AS I HAVE FOUND SEVERAL HAVE EXPERIENCED THE ISSUE WITHOUT REMEDY.
